To be clear, $HOME was pointing correctly at /root. Emacs ignored $HOME and instead created $USER/.emacs.d/eln-cache, which was surprising. (su without - still changes $HOME but not $USER.) Or at least I think that's happened, and the correct thing happened when I overrode $USER (and $LOGNAME) and then did the same thing again with otherwise the same environment variables. -- Russ Allbery (rra@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
